Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Dexmedetomidine as intrathecaladjuvant to Bupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia on the onset and duration of sensory and motor block inTotal Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH).
Materials and Method: Sixty patients of ASA status I and II posted for Total Abdominal Hysterectomywere randomly divided into three groups. Group C were administered Hyperbaric Bupivacaine 15mgplus 0.5 ml normal saline, Group D was administered Hyperbaric Bupivacaine 15mg + Dexmedetomidine10mg in 0.5 ml normal saline. Duration and quality of sensory and motor block were assessed.
Results: Sensory and motor block in group D patients were longer than group C patients.
Conclusion: Intrathecal dexmedetomidine when added to bupivacaine heavy (0.5%) provide better andprolonged analgesia.

Introduction:Cornual pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Insterstitial pregnancies account for 2-4% of ectopic pregnancies and 20% of cases that advances beyond 12 wks of gestation ends in rupture 1 . As pregnancy location is within the myometrium there is greater room for expansion and rupture occurs characteristically during the fourth or fifth gestation 2 . It is very difficult to make a diagnosis of cornual pregnancy before rupture. We report a case where cornual pregnancy was diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation after uterus rupture and profuse intraabdominal heamorrhage.
Case Report:A 22 yrs old lady admitted in our hospital with history of severe abdominal pain and sweating for 5 hours at 17 weeks of gestation. . Her temperature recorded 96 0 F, pulse rate was 115 beats/min and blood pressure was 80/50 mm Hg. The lower abdomen
A Ruptured Cornual Ectopic Pregnancy at 17 WeeksGestation : A Case Report KHAN MI a Here , we report a case where cornual pregnancy was diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation after uterine rupture and profound haemorrhage . The patient underwent laparotomy followed by cornual resection with salpingectomy.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the common disorders in women at child bearing age. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the lipid profile in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.A total of 103 women with PCOS of 15-36 years of age were included in the present study. Of the 103 PCOS women, 50% were overweight or obese, 29.1% had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 4.9% had type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The mean BMI was generally higher (25.8±5.5 kg/m 2 ). The mean serum cholesterol levels ranged from182 mg/dl to 236 mg/dl in all groups of women. The results of our study showed that women with PCOS had altered lipid profile and glycemic status. Therefore, evaluation of metabolic status is necessary for better management of women with PCOS.Ibrahim Med. Coll. J. 2014; 8(2): 47-49
